The UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (‘the Hub’) is accelerating the scaling of the transformative water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) innovations for vulnerable children and their families, and strong collaboration is at the heart of this mission. As part of our approach, the WASH Hub sources, pilots and scales transformational climate-resilient solutions that respond to key programmatic challenges that, if solved, will unlock faster progress for a water-secure future for children and young people.
For this work, the Consultant will support the WASH Hub by developing and detailing a scaling pathway, approach and key considerations for taking the solution further and supporting uptake at multi-country and multi-region scale to ensure integrated monitoring for Climate-resilient WASH. The scaling pathway is a structured approach that outlines the steps, strategies, and choices for expanding a proven innovation so it can reach a larger population and achieve sustainable impact over time.
The vision of the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (‘the Hub’) is to be a global
home for building, accelerating and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a
WASH secure future of universal and equitable access to safely managed services. The Hub is seeking an experienced consultant to lead the development of its Strategic Plan (2026–2029), guiding the Hub’s next phase as it accelerates transformative WASH solutions from demonstration to multi‑regional scale. Building on Denmark’s foundational investment and insights from the Hub’s first three years, the Strategic Plan will articulate a bold, evidence‑driven pathway for UNICEF to lead a global shift in how climate‑resilient WASH innovations are sourced, financed, and scaled. The consultancy will help shape the Hub’s contribution to UNICEF’s Global Strategic Plan and its evolving role within the new WASH Centre of Excellence.
The selected consultant will analyse emerging sector trends, assess the Hub’s current portfolio and performance, and co‑develop a compelling vision, Theory of Change, and operational model. The Strategic Plan will outline how UNICEF will enable accelerated uptake of high‑impact solutions to help close the gap on achieving universal access to resilient, safely managed water and sanitation services. This is a unique opportunity to help shape a global agenda for scaling WASH innovation, strengthen an ecosystem of partners, and define the enabling conditions and pathways needed to drive transformational, climate‑resilient impact for vulnerable children and communities worldwide.
The vision of the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (WASH Hub) is to be a global home for building, accelerating and scaling transformational climate resilient solutions for a WASH secure future of universal and equitable access to safely managed services, addressing the full ambition of the SDG6. UNICEF’s innovation portfolio approach focuses our innovation efforts on the most challenging problems UNICEF is trying to solve for and with children and young people. It does so by identifying targeted, strategic innovative solutions – with potential to have a significant impact and for which capacity is in place for rapid scaling up – and facilitating their accelerated progress to scale. The WASH Hub supports and builds capacity within UNICEF country offices to facilitate successful scaling of WASH innovations, in-country and globally.
The Consultant will support the WASH Hub by developing a strategy for scaling WASH innovations, outlining the pathway, approach and key considerations for moving demonstration projects to multi-country and multi-region scale.
UNICEF is seeking a consultant for writing, copy editing and proof-reading support on the preparation of ASWA III annual report (2025, 2026 and 2027 (final)) (global report plus annexes) and EU Annual and Final Report (2025 and Final).
